Finding out about new and upcoming motorcycles is great, right? Only, if you're seriously thinking about throwing a leg over and getting on a new bike, chances are excellent that you'd like to ride it first. After all, these things cost money; no sense plunking down a bunch of your hard-earned cash on something if you're not reasonably sure you'll enjoy it, right?

Although the format tends to work better for street bikes, the same can't usually be said for off-road machines, which can put them at a disadvantage. I mean, off-road riders want to know what a bike is going to be like ahead of time too, don't they?
